The concern in Hongli's words made Xianyue's heart warm. She lowered her head and glanced at the scars on the back of her hands and said, "It's just a minor injury. Just keep it away from water. No need to bother the doctor."
"So, I just haven't seen it." After saying this, Hongli turned around and ordered: "Sixi, please immediately send the Song imperial physician to Yanxi Palace."
After Si Xi retreated, Hongli stretched out his hand towards Xianyue and said, "Let's go, I will accompany you back."
Xianyue said in shock: "Your Majesty, isn't he going to Kunning Palace?"
"Doctor Xu said that Yonglian is fine, and the Queen and Shuixiu are taking care of Yonglian in Kunning Palace. It doesn't matter whether I go or not; but you..." At this point, Hongli said guiltily:
"I have suffered a lot of grievances today, so I should accompany you."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "No matter how many grievances you have, it has already passed. Your Majesty, you don't need to keep it in your heart. Go and accompany the Empress and the second elder brother."
Hongli never spoke, nor did he take back his outstretched hand. Xianyue understood what he meant, smiled, put her delicate hand into his generous palm, and let him lead her all the way.
When they returned to Yanxi Palace, Song Zihua also arrived. The wounds on the back of Xianyue's hands were just flesh wounds. As long as she applied ointment regularly, there would be no scars. However, when they checked her pulse, they found that she was weak and needed medical treatment.
for a while.
After Song Zihua left, Hongli personally applied ointment to Xianyue, and then said: "It's all my fault that I hurt you."
"The emperor doesn't want it, it's just a small accident. The most important thing is to find out the real culprit who harmed the second elder brother." Along the way, the smile never disappeared from Xianyue's lips.
Hongli was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Xiayue, are what you said in Cining Palace true?"
Xianyue asked in confusion: "Words? What words?"
Hongli looked at her and said nervously: "You said... you regret falling in love with me and regretting becoming my concubine. Is this true?"
Xianyue was silent for a moment and said, "Does the Emperor really want to know?"
There was a trace of hesitation in Hongli's eyes, but he finally nodded and said: "Yes, I want to know, whether I... really let you down so much?"
Silence enveloped each other, and after an unknown amount of time, Xianyue finally said: "No, I have never regretted it. Maybe... in the emperor's heart, meeting me was a mistake; but in my heart, it has always been a mistake.
That’s right. Your Majesty is the husband I have been waiting for for fourteen years.”
Hongli shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's never a mistake to meet you. On the contrary, you are a gift from God. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the chance to overthrow Yingge; if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to escape that knife.
.”
Xianyue smiled sweetly and said: "Since it's not a mistake, I will not regret it anymore."
Staring at that smile, Hongli's chest was filled with an inexplicable feeling. The next moment, he held Xianyue in his arms and did not separate until the palace attendants brought the cooked medicine.
After watching Xianyue drink the medicine, Hongli said: "What did Huang's mother say to you after I left?"
Xianyue said truthfully: "The emperor's mother wants to let me raise my eldest brother, and I have already agreed."
Hongli was quite surprised by this matter. After thinking for a moment, he said: "You have some relationship with his mother's death. If you feel it is too difficult, I will talk to the emperor and ask Yong Huang to go to my elder brother's house."
"No need. It's already very pitiful for eldest brother to lose his biological mother. It's even more pitiful to send him to his home. I am confident that I can teach eldest brother well."
Hongli didn't force it, "Okay, I will also ask Yonghuang to listen to you. If he can really treat you as a relative, it would be a good thing. However, there is one more thing now."
Xianyue said doubtfully: "Is there anything else? What is it?"
"That's you. You heard what Imperial Physician Song just said. There shouldn't be anything going on in the palace during the next period. You can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. I don't want to see you getting thinner and thinner.
, look at your face, it's almost fleshless." Hongli pinched her cheek gently, but he didn't want Xianyue to call out softly and frowned.
Hongli was startled, then understood immediately, caressing her still red cheek and said, "What's wrong? Does it still hurt?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "There are still some. They should be ready tomorrow. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Hongli nodded and said: "This time the queen... was a little impulsive, but she was also worried about Yonglian, and because I and Huang's mother didn't tell her the truth, that's why she slapped you. You
Don't blame her."
Seeing that Hongli had been helping Mingyu to speak, Xianyue felt astringent and secretly took a breath and said: "I know that if I were the queen, I would be even more impulsive than the queen."
Hongli nodded happily and said: "It's good that you understand. After this incident, the queen should be able to eliminate her misunderstanding of you and won't stop you from seeing Yonglian."
"I hope so." When she said this, Mingyu's words and deeds in Cining Palace came to Xianyue's mind. Even if the Yonglian incident comes to light, Mingyu may still have many misunderstandings about her...
At that time, in the Yijing Courtyard of Xianfu Palace, Dongmei was timidly telling Mr. Yu the news she had learned, and then nervously said: "Master, what if Concubine Zhe confesses you before she dies?"
The emperor will definitely blame him. When the time comes..." She was so panicked that she couldn't even speak clearly. Mr. Yu glanced at her and said, "Why are you panicking? Since Concubine Zhe is dead, it means she didn't confess me.
.”
Dongmei was confused and said: "Why?"
Yu Guiren said coldly: "Think about it, if she really confesses, will you and I still be here in good health? It won't take that long to arrest someone from the cold palace. But now there is no movement at all.
It is enough to prove that the emperor does not know that I am related to the second elder brother's matter."
Dongmei let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said fearfully: "That's good, I was really worried just now."
Yu Guiren stood up and walked a few steps in the room, and said in a cold voice: "The Queen Mother... is really clever. She actually found out that the poison was poisoned by the Fucha family. Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Dongmei nodded repeatedly and said, "My servant heard that everything was arranged by the Queen Mother. The Fucha family was tricked by her. When I think of that trick, I feel frightened."
Yu Guiren narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "It seems... the Queen Mother, this old fox, is the person I need to be wary of most in the future."
Dongmei nodded repeatedly and then said: "Master, what should we do now?"
Mr. Yu glanced at her and said, "If you want to survive, just do nothing, just stay here and wait until the limelight of this matter has passed."
